Sometime ago I got a lovely 66 Tele which had been stripped.
Love the guitar, but the wood was completely bare - and I wanted some finish to protect it, toyed with the idea of clear lacquer but in the end went for a full nitro refin by
@IvisonGuitars ;
Body came back today, after a quick hour putting it back together (hats off to Leo, if I can do it in that time - he got it right), and couldn't be happier.
Still plays and sounds great but now looks like something finished too.

Neil is so easy to 'work' with, I wish I had more that needed painting! Consider this a recommendation.
